Apple has launched a new ad for its ever-popular MacBook Air, but it's not quite like the ads that came before it.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Apple hasn't even managed to get the iPhone 6 out the door yet, but Samsung has already begun poking fun at not just the phone, but those lining up to buy one, too.
The voice-to-text dictation in iOS has always been one of those features that people either use extensively, or have never even noticed. Those that do make heavy use of dictation have long had one main complaint though, and that's been about the way their voice is converted to text.
Saving links to be read later may seem like a simple, forgettable feature but as apps like Instapaper and Pinboard have already proven that there's plenty of use for such a feature. Now, two years after buying Instapaper competitor Spool, Facebook has launched its very own read-it-later service.
Mobile gaming has been growing at an impossible rate ever since the iPhone and Android smartphones arrived, and Gameloft is one developer that has made a handsome business out of games that are built for smartphones and tablets. One of Gameloft's most successful and indeed most popular games, Modern Combat, has received a launch trailer for the latest game in the franchise.
Apple has already received plenty of plaudits for the way it has worked to try and reduce the number of iPhone thefts in big cities, but a newly discovered patent application shows that the firm isn't resting on its laurels. Instead, if we're reading this Thursday's patent application right, Apple is working on technology that will analyze usage patterns in order to discern whether a device is in the hands of its rightful owner.
The iPhone 6 leaks have started to pick up pace as we draw close to its grand unveiling in September. On a daily basis, we are either treated to a batch of photos pertaining to the rear shell of the device itself, or an occasional part leak that leaves us scratching our heads. Today is no different, as we are again left scratching our heads, with a new part being leaked related to the iPhone 6.
The jailbreak world can often be a dark and murky one, so when you hear about the biggest and arguably most popular repository of jailbreak apps being hacked, you tend to take notice. That's what happened very recently, with the BigBoss repo apparently falling foul of hackers.
Kickstarter can be the home to some rather weird and, frankly, abysmal ideas, but sometimes there's a little gem waiting to be discovered. One of those gems is the Cabin iPhone battery and charging system and, if we could be so bold, we'd have to say it's pretty damn awesome.
As the expected release of Apple's new iPhone 6 draws ever closer, it stands to reason that mass production of at least one of the new devices has to begin pretty soon, and now that's been all but confirmed by a new report by the Economic Daily.
